Frequently Asked Questions

With the Safe SVG plugin: yes — it sanitizes SVG on upload, removing JavaScript and external references. Without sanitization: no — raw SVG can contain XSS exploits.
Can WooCommerce use SVG for product images?
Yes, after enabling SVG uploads with the Safe SVG plugin. Woo product image galleries support SVG files. Note: some image optimization plugins may not process SVG — check compatibility.
